At the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion, Liu Yulian looked at those things and then at the jewelry on the table.
"They've all left," said Liu's mother, coming over to keep her daughter company. "Tomorrow, you'll be married."
"I can't bear to leave you." Liu Yulian said, thinking back to when she regained her memory. At that time, she hadn't thought she would get married so soon. She just thought she had saved her life, not that she would have to get married so soon.
"Then come back more often in the future." Liu's mother was reluctant to let her daughter go, but no matter how reluctant she was, her daughter had to get married.
"If I keep coming back, you'll be tired of me." Liu Yulian joked.
"I'm annoyed with what you do because I'm afraid you don't have time to come back." Doesn't Liu's mother know Liu Yulian? Liu Yulian has to do a lot of things.
Even after getting married, Liu Yulian remained the director of the institute, responsible for overseeing its affairs. Other women, after getting married, would stay home to take care of their husbands and children, but Liu Yulian was different.
Mother Liu's eyes flushed slightly. Her daughter was about to get married, and she wouldn't be able to see her daughter every few steps. If her daughter lived at home, Mother Liu could see her more often. If her daughter lived in the princess's mansion, Mother Liu wouldn't be able to see her often.
The princess was nice, and she was in the capital, but it wasn't good for Liu's mother to go there all the time. If she went there all the time, what would others think? That wouldn't be good either.
"Come back when you have time." Liu's mother said, "Don't worry about whether you have something to do or not. Come back whenever you want."
"Of course," Liu Yulian said. "Of course I have to come back more often. I've lived here for so many years, and I miss it here, and I miss you all."
"You." Mother Liu held Liu Yulian's hand. "Tomorrow, when you get married... Remember, do whatever you want and don't worry about others."
Liu Yulian is not the wife of the young master Qin. Liu's mother knows Liu Yulian's ability. So Liu's mother will not let Liu Yulian follow the three obediences and four virtues, nor will she let her daughter endure those things. Instead, she will let her daughter live according to her own ideas.
"I understand." Liu Yulian understood that since her family cared about her so much, she would definitely live a good life and would definitely not be stupid.
Mother Liu looked at Liu Yulian. She still couldn't bear to part with her daughter, even though her little daughter was still so young... She hadn't raised her little daughter enough. No, it wasn't them who were raising their little daughter, it was their little daughter who was raising them.
It's good for my daughter to get married, so that she won't have to bear so many things.
After Madam Qin returned to the Qin family, she heard from the maid that Liu Yuqin had returned to the capital. Liu Yuqin did not go to the Qin family to wait for Madam Qin, but instead asked someone to tell Madam Qin.
"Why is she here?" Madam Qin frowned. She didn't expect Liu Yuqin to come back at this time. "Did she say when to meet? Or something else?"
"She said she was staying with her second brother," the maid said, "and then she'd leave after two days."
Madam Qin Dashao didn't understand Liu Yuqin's thoughts for a moment. Liu Yuqin would only stay in the capital for two days, so why did Liu Yuqin want someone to say these words to her?
Liu Yulian was getting married tomorrow, so it was impossible for Madam Qin to go see Liu Yuqin tomorrow. That meant she would have to wait until the day after tomorrow. Madam Qin hoped that Liu Yuqin would not do anything stupid.
Madam Qin had already figured it out. She couldn't possibly embarrass her sister, a daughter of the same mother. However, she did have a good relationship with Liu Yuqin. If Liu Yuqin did something stupid, wouldn't she be implicated?
Madam Qin was afraid that Liu Yuqin would implicate herself. Before, Master Qin had a maidservant who almost became a concubine. Madam Qin didn't want to go through that again. If it happened again, it wouldn't be a maidservant anymore. Master Qin would just take a concubine.
If Young Master Qin really wants to take a concubine, Madam Qin still hopes to wait a few more years. It would be best to wait until their son gets married and their children have children. Then Madam Qin will pay more attention to the grandchildren and not the affairs of Young Master Qin.
"Find someone to keep an eye on her," said Madam Qin. "Don't let her do anything wrong, understand?"
"Yes." The maid responded.
After the maid left, Young Master Qin arrived.
Mrs. Qin Da Shao saw that Young Master Qin couldn't help but feel guilty. The Qin family didn't want her to have much contact with Liu Yuqin. Mrs. Qin Da Shao understood this, and she didn't know how much Young Master Qin had heard.
"I just came back from my younger sister's place." Madam Qin said, "quite a few people went there."
"There are a lot of people, that's normal." Young Master Qin said, "I heard that some people also sent things over."
"Yes, those were all prepared for me by those people," said Madam Qin. "I said I shouldn't have accepted those things, but since she's getting married, I'll just keep them. Afterwards, I'll use some of the money to support the school so more children can go to school. In my opinion, they don't have to give them away. I might not even need what they give me, and I'll have to pay them back."
Madam Qin Dashao thought that there was no point in Liu Yulian keeping those things, they were just useless.
"You can't say that." Young Master Qin said, "At least it's a token of my appreciation."
Young Master Qin thought that if it were him, he would also be happy if those people gave him gifts, but whether he accepted them or not was another matter. This also showed how high his status was in the hearts of the people and that he had done a lot of good things.
"Anything else?" asked Young Master Qin.
"Fourth sister and her family have also arrived in the capital," said Madam Qin. "Even my father and his family didn't accept many gifts from my fourth sister's family. She has changed a lot. My sisters have never been so quiet, but after getting married, they have changed a lot. I wonder if it's because they suffered in their husband's family."
"It shouldn't be hard." Young Master Qin said, "They all respect the Marquis' Mansion and also respect my younger sister."
The same is true for the Qin family. Madam Qin cannot be like Madam He, and Madam Qin is not Liu Yulian.
Young Master Qin didn't ask any more questions when he saw that Madam Qin didn't mention Liu Yuqin. He just hoped that Madam Qin wouldn't do anything stupid. If she did do something stupid again, there would be nothing others could do.
"Second... Second sister is indeed here," said Madam Qin. "I haven't had time to see her these past two days. I'll talk to her after my younger sister gets married. She's staying at Liu Yanbo's house. I've had someone keep an eye on her to prevent her from disturbing my younger sister."
Madam Qin Da Shao finally said that she was a genuine native. Even though Master Qin Da Shao had a maid before, but Master Qin no longer had one, Madam Qin Da Shao was much happier with Master Qin Da Shao.
This is also the sorrow of women in ancient times. These women pay attention to the three obediences and four virtues, while men can have three wives and four concubines. When men take the initiative to give up other women, these women will actually feel a little grateful in their hearts, and they will also feel that men respect them.
The environment in ancient times and later times is different, and people’s thinking is also different.
Mrs. Qin Dashao has a lump in her heart, but this lump is too small and can be blown away by the wind at any time.
"You can do whatever you want." Young Master Qin didn't interfere much in these matters. These matters were also the business of Madam Qin's sisters. As long as Madam Qin didn't drag down the family, it would be fine.
In the northwest, Mrs. Huo couldn't sleep. She still had a light scar on her face, but it wasn't that obvious. But when others walked in front of her, they could still see the scar on her face.
The face that Da Huo was so proud of was gone. She had relied on it to get along with other men. Without this beautiful face, how many men would be willing to get close to her?
Some children in the village even directly called her ugly and said she had a pig head.
Mrs. Huo felt even more upset, and she even chased after the children to beat them up. But the children ran too fast, and Mrs. Huo couldn't catch up at all.
This reminded Mrs. Huo of her past life. The scarred general Liu Yulian married had once had children say the same thing. However, those children didn't dare get too close to the general and only spoke in front of Liu Yulian.
At that time, many people thought that Liu Yulian married the general for his power. Liu Yulian was very beautiful, and many men liked her very much. Some even wanted her to be their concubine. But how could Liu Yulian possibly want to be someone's concubine?
Liu Yulian did not agree to the marriage proposal, so someone came to make things difficult for the Liu family.
At that time, the eldest Huo family thought that they should let Liu Yulian get married early, as she was a troublemaker. Once Liu Yulian got married, there would be fewer people to embarrass them.
"She's getting married again." Mrs. Huo was lying on the bed. Liu Yulian's life was always so good.
In her previous life, Liu Yulian was exiled and yet she was able to marry a fierce general with a scar on his face. The reason why Da Huo didn't dare to say much about Liu Yulian at that time was because that general protected her.
In this life, it was Da Huo's turn to have a scar on her face. She wanted men to be completely captivated by her, but no man treated her so well. When she didn't have scars on her face, those men only coveted her body, and those men didn't have true love for her.
She had scars on her face, and the men stayed away from her.
Mrs. Huo really didn't know how she ended up like this. Did God let her be reborn just to make her suffer?
When she thought back on the past, she felt that Liu Yulian was God's beloved daughter.
No matter in the past life or this life, Liu Yulian has always lived a good life, and this life is even better than the past life.
"Why is it just like that?" Mrs. Huo couldn't understand why Liu Yulian was so powerful. Is there really so much content in the book?
Mrs. Huo thought that Liu Yulian didn't know so much and that someone else had told her. But that was impossible. How could someone else push such a great merit onto Liu Yulian?
If she had such great ability, she would definitely make the Liu family suffer in the northwest and never let them return to the capital.
Da Huo couldn't do those things, at most he could do them in his dreams.
The new day began, and Liu Yulian woke up early. The maids and servants in the house woke up even earlier than her, and started preparing things so early. Liu Yulian didn't want to sleep all the time, and she couldn't fall asleep.
Liu Yulian wasn't so particular. She didn't avoid eating on her wedding day; that would only hurt herself. Other women were to do as they pleased.
Liu's mother didn't insist on Liu Yulian doing the same. She asked someone to prepare some food for her daughter so that she wouldn't go hungry. Liu's mother treated her two biological daughters differently. She asked her elder daughter to follow the rules more, but she didn't ask her younger daughter to follow the rules.
The younger daughter is capable and doesn't have to consider the opinions of her husband's family when doing things, so it doesn't matter what happens to her.
Didn’t you see that Madam He always praised Liu Yulian in various ways? Mother Liu didn’t even know that her little daughter was so strong.
"Little sister." Madam Qin came here early just to see Liu Yulian get married. She didn't want others to think that she didn't care about Liu Yulian enough.
Mrs. Qin Dashao saw the wedding dress on Liu Yulian. The pattern on the wedding dress was lifelike and very beautiful. The wedding dress Mrs. Qin Dashao wore when she got married was not as good as this one. She knew that this wedding dress was embroidered by Liu Yulian herself.
That is Liu Yulian's ability, and Madam Qin can only envy her.
"Not to mention your looks and talent, just your wedding dress alone makes many people look better than you." said Madam Qin.
"A wedding dress is only worn for one day," said Liu Yulian.
"That's right. Generally, wedding dresses aren't borrowed," said Madam Qin. If a family had some money, they wouldn't wear someone else's wedding dress. But Liu Yulian's wedding dress was truly beautiful. Madam Qin thought it would be a shame to wear such a beautiful dress only once a day.
He Xiyuan set out from the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion and arrived at the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion at the auspicious time.
Everything went smoothly, and Liu Yulian did not encounter any problems when bidding farewell to her parents.
He Xiyuan took Liu Yulian out of the Marquis' Mansion, and the wedding procession went around the city to Princess Rongning's Mansion.
Liu Yuqin and Su Qiuya were sitting in the restaurant. Su Qiuya had come with Liu Yuqin on purpose because she didn't dare leave her alone. If she did something stupid, it would be hard to deal with.
This time, Liu Yuqin is living in the home of Su Qiuya and his wife, so Su Qiuya has to keep an eye on Liu Yuqin even more.
How could Liu Yuqin not know Su Qiuya's plan? She asked Su Qiuya to follow her and let her pay the restaurant bill later.
"It's really lively." Liu Yuqin thought about her own wedding, which wasn't this lively. "My eldest sister is the eldest daughter, and her wedding wasn't this lively either, and she didn't have that much dowry."
The Marquis of Jingning's mansion had been ransacked once, yet Liu Yulian still had so much dowry.
It is really enviable and makes people jealous.
Liu Yuqin originally thought that Liu Yulian should not have such a large dowry, but she also understood that Liu Yulian had made such great contributions, and the royal family would not treat Liu Yulian unfairly.
"They are all legitimate daughters of the Marquis' Mansion, and there is still so much difference." Liu Yuqin said.
"It should be bad." Su Qiuya said, "They are all daughters of the Marquis' Mansion. It's good, but we also need to see if they have other merits."
Su Qiuya looked at Liu Yuqin. At this time, why was she still thinking about the dowry?
"When Fourth Sister got married in the Northwest, her dowry was really small." Su Qiuya said, "After the family split up, the eldest wife didn't have much money, but they still gave her dozens of taels of silver and added to her dowry."
"So little..." Liu Yuqin asked, "Do they want to make up for it now?"
"What compensation?" Su Qiuya really wanted to roll her eyes. "In that situation, it was considered a lot."
Su Qiuya didn't understand the thoughts of these people. Why didn't they think of giving more to others when they were in trouble? When others were doing well, they wanted to take advantage of them. Where in the world could such a good thing happen? Su Qiuya thought that if it were her, she would just not let them in.
Su Qiuya doesn't care what others think of her. What matters is that she feels comfortable.
"Who knows, Fourth Sister might make a fuss then." Liu Yuqin said.
Liu Yuqin suddenly thought that even if Liu Fang went to make trouble, it would be better for the Jingning Marquis' Mansion to break off the relationship with Liu Fang. Then the Jingning Marquis' Mansion would not only break off the relationship with her concubine's daughter, but also with her half-brother.
"..." Su Qiuya didn't know what to say. Liu Yuqin didn't care what Liu Fang was doing.
Liu Fang did see Liu Yulian's dowry, but she also knew that the dowry prepared by the Jingning Marquisate for Liu Yulian was even less than that of Liu Yuqin's wedding. Most of Liu Yulian's dowry was the betrothal gift from the Chengguo Mansion and the royal family's reward, and there were also some of Liu Yulian's own things in it.
If there is nothing else to fill it in, then Liu Yulian's dowry will really not be enough.
Liu Fang knew about this because she heard it from someone. There were always people who knew some news. Liu Fang thought that her younger sister Liu Yulian was in a difficult situation. The dowry prepared by the Jingning Marquis Mansion for her younger sister was not as much as that for Liu Yuqin.
Liu Yuqin is a concubine's daughter, while Liu Yulian is a legitimate daughter.
It wasn't that the people at Jingning Marquis' Mansion didn't dote on Liu Yulian, but rather that they didn't have that many things. The people at Jingning Marquis' Mansion had already worked very hard to prepare things for Liu Yulian, and Princess Zhaoyang had even given Liu Yulian some of her own things. It could be said that these people were very dedicated.
Seeing how Liu Yulian's dowry was put together, Liu Fang didn't dare to say that her original dowry was small. She wondered if the Jingning Marquis's mansion had prepared five hundred taels of silver for Liu Yulian. Perhaps it wasn't even five hundred taels.
"My little sister is also pitiful." Liu Fang said to her husband Zhen Wenze, "The dowry that father and his family prepared for her is not as good as Liu Yuqin's or Third Sister's."
"You know?" Zhen Wen Ze asked in confusion.
"I heard it from someone." Liu Fang pinched Zhen Wen Ze. "Look at all the people around here, someone must know. Don't tell anyone, and don't say my dowry is too little."
Liu Fang didn't dare say her dowry was small. Her original dowry was all after the family split. The eldest wife had prepared nearly a hundred taels of silver for her. If it was really small compared to Liu Yulian, the legitimate daughter, but compared to Liu Yuqin and Xue Liushi, Liu Yulian's dowry was even smaller.
Under such circumstances, Liu Fang thought it would be stupid to say that her dowry was small.
Liu Fang didn't think that the Jingning Marquis Mansion would prepare many shops and farms for Liu Yulian. The people in the Jingning Marquis Mansion had their own expenses, so they would have even less to give to Liu Yulian.
So what if my younger sister is so strong? She has earned a lot of things for the Jingning Marquis Mansion. But in a word, the people in the Jingning Marquis Mansion still need to survive, so the Jingning Marquis Mansion will never give Liu Yulian such things.
"No." Zhen Wen Ze did not come to the capital to ask the Jingning Marquisate to increase Liu Fang's dowry. He wanted his child to stay in the capital to study, and he also wondered if his family would be better off by then.
Personal connections were far more important than money, and Zhen Wen Ze couldn't possibly do that. Zhen Wen Ze simply thought it would be best if Liu Fang thought so, as he was afraid that Liu Fang would think Liu Yulian's dowry was too much and would cause trouble for the people in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Big sister." When Liu Fang saw Young Master Qin's wife, she simply went to her.
